Empower Newsletter – August 2011
Welcome to the August, 2011 edition of the Empower Newsletter. I am another year older writing this newsletter and find myself pondering why life gets better the older I get. I came up with the following analogy.
It’s a bit like property I suppose, just when you think the value can’t and won’t go up any higher, it just keeps going.
Did you know?
‘if you act as if everyone likes you, it will change your reality’
Do you act differently around different people? Are you more relaxed and give more of yourself to some people? Does the way you interact depend on who you are with? Does it make a difference if you think they like you or not?
I remember a time not so long ago when I first met a business colleague who was quite aloof and non-engaging. I remember making this mean that maybe she did not like me. Normally I would not make an effort with this person, I would just accept my initial thought and keep my distance.
Not this time though, I decided that I would act as if she did like me. I treated her the way I treat other people I do like, and wouldn’t you know it, she responded the way my friends do. Funny thing is I would never have formed a friendship with this girl if I hadn’t changed my belief and the way I responded to her. I wonder how this way of thinking will change the quality of your life and maybe even increase the number of friends you have. My challenge to you is to act as is everyone likes you and see how it changes your reality.
A great read
Think Yourself Rich by Joseph Murphy
Although this book is primarily about using the power of the subconscious mind to find wealth, it can be translated into anything you desire in your life. The main concept is around how our thoughts and language create our reality. This book gives practical examples on how people have changed their lives using these theories.
